Between Beck and O'Reilly Fox will blow everyone out of the
sky with viewership ratings - they're an AWESOME pair!


Until the Dopeocrats fix it with the fairness doctrine.


Fairness doctrine would not take anyone off the air, only
require equal time for the other side. Fox News should not
have a problem with that if they were to actually be true to
their slogan "Fair and Balanced".


Aside from that, the doctrine only applies during election
season. Conservative talk radio (really almost all of it has
been so from the beginning many decades ago) existed
coincident with the original doctrine, with almost no legal
issues. A station or network had to pretty much specifically
be 'in the tank' for a given candidate to elicit any legal
action by the Commission.
As I recall, all it took to be compliant was an open offer
for opposing view points.


I believe that was precisely the situation, yes.


But the thing is, it's just a hassle for the stations...


And, the Liberal/Democrat/Marxists are big into hassling, bribery
and extortion... just ask Jesse Jackson!


Talk radio on AM and FM once upon a time was all Liberal all the
time. Not only did I not care for that point of view many of these
left leaning hosts were disgusting, despicable people. Two of these
I recall was Tom Leykis and another was Bernie Ward.

Bernie finally got a jail sentence for child porn.

Leykis is still free but one day I expect to read about him being
behind bars for getting caught doing some disgusting thing.

So, Leykis is despicable because - Why? He talks about things that
make you blush?

You just want an excuse to bad-mouth him because he's middle-liberal,
and to you and other ideologues that's a dirty word.


No I bad mouth him for the reason I stated. The speaks about and
advocates immoral behavior. He clearly abuses his position as a public
speaker.
